Inside, you can explore the opulent palace rooms adorned with exquisite artwork and sliding doors painted by famous artists. The castle's serene atmosphere and rich history make it a must-visit destination in Kyoto. Have you had the chance to visit Nijo Castle? 🏯🌸
A complete and historic castle.
Take off your shoes in the palace! The outdoor temperature is 6 degrees, the indoor is lower, the ice feet are so cold that it is impossible to look good, and I ran out after turning quickly, but it is worth a visit.
